Is there any reason why we can't shoot coyotes all year long?

Im not sure thats a good? I wouldnt mind they are all over

[bigpaul]

OK! Why is there a season? It should be open all year!

[nyantler]

Probably because there is only about 20,000 coyotes in NY

[hunterjohn]

20000 to many

[Doc]

Care for another guess? ........ It might be because coyotes are furbearers and maybe looked at as a resource.

20000 to many

Why? Because they are decimating the deer herd of a million in NY?

Around the farm we sure as heck do. And it's been betting BAD this year, we've lost 2 calves, a horse, and at least 7 ewe's to them. The good news being in the past 3 weeks I've personally shot 3 of them, and we nailed another 2 this weekend. The one (whom I am working on getting a picture to my email, through my non-smart phone) was on the corpse of a sheep killed in broad daylight. Very very ballsy of him. Big freaking coyote, minimum of 50 lbs, probably more. Pour fauns and poults are getting annihilated, theres at least 3 packs in the area.

The aforementioned, dead yote. Boot is mine, size 11 camo rubber boots (ie, not small!) for size reference. He's a big fella. Lovely orange color.

you can shoot coyotes year-round (if they are killing your livestock, etc).

Coyotes can be "killed" year round meaning if they are a nusance or getting to close to your house or a nearby neighbor need so help with a dominant male that is to friendly. the furbearer season is when they can be sold.
